SORRY! I didn't realize you were the OP the way you worded the post. I don't always check user name when reading.

I'll be PMing you for pics of the tank

I gotta say this is the slickest, easiest way to deal with access to valve shims. So easy i had three shims out and size verified in 10 minutes,

I ordered a 2.65 shim and will be able to swap to the other two valves. The 2.70 in there works for #1 intake and and that one a 2.75 works for the #3 intake. All three of these valves were at .06mm clearance with 270A, 275 and 280 shims, so they will be at .11mm when done All will be in spec from .08mm (2), .10mm (3) and .11mm (3). I'll have a left over 280 shim. Love it when the math works out in my favor. R

Here is video of using the ziptie for a valve clearance tool. Fukn bought a head cover gasket without the reed holes. Of course that didn't work. Sounded terrible. More waiting for the mailman. I found a 265 shim at the local dealer. 4$ Also pulled the forks and put new dust boots on. I found a 40mm set that fits dimensionally from Pyramid Parts in the UK. Ebay gets 35$ a piece and I only saw one for ST. I had one used the other was destroyed. Nice to have two goods ones on there. It has rain nearly 5" the last two days here. No fishing or MC riding. :ohmy:

Hello all, just in case folks had trouble sourcing fork dust boots for the ST like I did, Pyramid Parts in the UK has a set that dimensionally fits. The stock boot is 40mm ID X 60mm OD X 25mm H. NOS or used are crazy pricey on Ebay. Often I only found one and it was 30-75$. Pyramid Parts stock #DB5 Fork Dust Boots 40x55x30 mm fits well and was 18$ a pair +shipping 26$. The bottom was snug but fits. I thought that was a great deal and they look good. Pic tomorrow sometime. R

Hello I just wanted to let folks have been following all that I had a pretty serious crash on Friday last week of my 1980 Ste 2 nothing terribly major with medical however I am still in rehab and will be working on treatment for follow-up to some ar m and knee and the hip injuries so while I had did not have any major organ damage or any major bone breakage there is a break it's just not made for me I'm real grateful that I'm as healthy as I am this will be a few months of healing that not the half of your years or permanent disability so very grateful to be where I'm at I have not yet seen bike it is returned to my house but at that point I'll be determining if it's something that sell bowl or if it's something that I can turn into a bobber I don't even like the idea anyhow thanks and Godspeed to all. I do not have any recall of the actual percussion. About what happened as I was going about 55 miles an hour on the highway and the tank and handlebars started to go into a typical suspension tano slapper. There were cars in front of me so I wanted to get to the side of the road however when I tried to get to the side of the road was either too fast or was I had too much debris there and that's where it dumps so in any event talk to you soon bye

Holy crap. Sounds like a blowout or rear wheel lock up. Glad you're able to talk about it and get well soon. :(
